Tremors in Hands and Legs
Major tremors are strong, uncontrollable shaking movements in the hands, legs, or other body parts.
They may affect daily activities like writing, walking, or holding objects. These tremors can be caused by serious conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, essential tremor, or neurological damage. They may also be linked to severe anxiety, medication side effects, or metabolic issues.
If you experience persistent or worsening tremors, consult a medical professional for proper diagnosis and treatment. Early care can greatly improve quality of life.
